Milinkovic-Savic is coming off arguably the best season of his career, scoring 11 goals and dishing 11 assists in 37 Serie A contests this campaign.
He has been with Lazio since arriving from Belgian side Genk in 2015, but he appears to be headed to the Premier League – with a second English club also reportedly competing for his signature.
TOP STORY – SERBIAN STAR SETS SIGHTS ON PREMIER LEAGUE
Italian outlet Corriere dello Sport called Lazio management delusional if they believe teams will pay a figure of over €70m, and instead believe Arsenal will come calling with a lesser bid of “at least £42m” in the hope it will be enough.
Also mentioned in the report as an interested party are Newcastle United, who are still searching for a marquee signing this offseason.
The Serbian is not the only expensive target on the Gunners’ list, as the Telegraph named them as one of five teams considering a move for Leeds United’s Raphinha, as well as being linked with Leicester City’s Youri Tielemans.
If there is to be a spending spree at Arsenal, the Express is reporting Granit Xhaka could be heading the other way, with strong interest said to be coming from Jose Mourinho’s Roma.
